Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Practical Identity and Narrative Agency
Kim Atkins Β· 2013
80/100
π Worth It
Atkins and Mackenzie assembled a high-caliber set of essays that make a genuine intellectual contribution by shifting personal identity questions from metaphysics to practical philosophy. The Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews endorsement and Routledge publication confirm its scholarly standing, and the four-part thematic structure gives it more coherence than most edited collections. This is a book for academic philosophers; general readers need not apply.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
